h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

D'you know, I still have a bruise from this. Do you think I should ask for my money back?

*Thinks: there, that'll confuse them that are in Alabaseter mode*

*very worried*

Depends on how long ago you had it - I had a hep B booster last year, and I had a bruise for 3 weeks, and a lump for about 2 months.

*shudders*

Blast - this was the Hep B jab, so I can expect this bruise to last right into my holiday then?
No lumps at all though - a matter about which I have already complained

*looks suitably confused*

I'm afraid a bit of a bruise goes with the territory
Did they do it in your bum or your arm?

No - in the surgery (boom boom!)

Actually -in the arm, though lower down than most. (Exactly half way between elbow and shoulder).

Ouch

and this from a diabetic...

Aha - another diabetic (no, I'm not, but I know one that is)
Tell me - have you read "The Glucose Revolution?" and if so, is it any good? I take it from the injection reference that you are actually insulin dependent?
*Goes off to see what the guide has on Diabetes*

*grins*

IDDM

My friend Rob has IDDM - he loses pens on a frighteningly regular basis (ie every time he gets drunk). Now he has this method of getting the little insulin vials (with needle attached) and pushing the plunger down with a cocktail stick or suchlike. He calculates his dosage by using 'his aura'. Strangely enough, he has lots of hypos!

I don't use pens. They are nasty, uncomfortable, blunt things.

There's actually a very good article hereabouts on IDDM, but I lost the link to it in the confusion . In fact, I'm not really sure what day it is...I am sure it is only about a week 'till I'm on Holiday - yippee....

Erm- anyone heard from Abi recently?
It's all eerily quiet around here...

No.
*tumbleweed drifts through the forum*

*hours drag past; as empty as a Connemarra schoolbus*
Alright - I give up - where'd she go?

Abducted by aliens?

*whistling wind*

We should build a campfire and sing songs to call her home.
